Splut

Hello and Welcome back 

With all the conflicts across human space, pirate activity and hazards of space travel there is quite a few drifting wrecks and hulks. When discovered these drifting wrecks and hulks often attract explorers and salvage teams. 

A small number of these hulks have strange amoeba like creatures nesting aboard them that Spacers call "Jellies". It is not known where these bugs orginate or how they get aboard the wrecks. One theory is that they are a form of mutated bacteria. They are hostile and some teams never escape the hulks as the Jellies swarm them. It has been found that lazer and plasma weapons are effective on these creatures. 

Splut is a different form of these creatures being larger and polymorphic. It is intelligent and able to produce limbs or weapons. Splut was found living peacefully with the Jellies. It seemed he could keep them tame and under control. This link was discovered by Splut's next "companion" as the creature formed a psychic bond to them. 

"Just what are you?"

Due to Splut's nature it is hunted by corporate and government agents from across human space. It's previous companion lost his life creating a distraction so Splut could escape. This effected Splut and he has become hesitant in forming a link with another human. Splut fled by hiding on vessles to frontier space, Spluts polymorphic nature allowing it to hide with easy. 

Currently Splut is carefully looking for a new companion to form a bond with, but it knows it is being hunted and doesn't want to get another companion killed.

The figure came from a small Sci fi play set, from Home Bargains for a mighty £1. The set provided a few useful bits for models. It was too good not to use.

Thank you for looking and take care out there.
